Individuals invest in the stock market for a variety of reasons. New investors often buy growth stocks in the hopes of massive gains. Many will turn to known names such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). However, investors may open this position only after stocks like this have become well-known.

Like the rest of the broader markets, semiconductor stocks to buy have operated under a cloud of uncertainty this year.

PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) announced its third-quarter results on Oct. 4. They were healthy enough that I’ve put the beverage and snack food company on my list of seven beverage stocks to buy now.  But before I get into the seven names on my list, I thought I’d explain why I’m so high on beverage stocks.  The

These days, I have hardly any brick-and-mortar retailers in my portfolio. The big money comes when you invest early, and those days are long gone for the “big box” stores. Sales are moving online, around the world, at an exponential pace. Five years ago, e-commerce was a $1.3 trillion market; by next year, it’ll be

The trade war between the U.S. and China has dragged on for more than a year and has claimed plenty of victims as traders succeed — and often fail — in trying to time the markets. Indeed, some investors in Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) stock have lost capital by selling their shares whenever the tariff-war tension ramps

As best I can, I’m going to try and sum up the bull thesis on global media giant Disney (NYSE:DIS) stock in one paragraph.

Disney will go from antiquated media

Another day, another hopeful tweet on trade from President Trump that is helping boost the stock market. This time, it is word that China’s vice premier would be visiting the White House to help ink a deal. Previous reporting suggested that discussions had broken down over intellectual property rights. And in another indication that this

It’s a mess out there. Investors started off the month of October by dumping their stocks. Both Tuesday and Wednesday brought heavy selling as investors contemplated weak manufacturing data, the possibility of impeachment, the trade war, and more. All in all, folks are starting to price in the possibility of another ruinous Q4, such as

Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI) started in Orlando, Florida in 1968. But today the empire has more than 1,700 restaurants across North America and more than 185,000 employees. It’s also the world’s largest full-service restaurant company. Even with DRI stock’s recent stumble, it easily earns a “buy” rating for my Growth Investor model portfolio. Source: Sundry Photography

The story of Splunk (NASDAQ:SPLK) stock has been up and down in 2019. For the most part, the trend is up. But in the last month-and-a-half, SPLK stock has been trending down.

Insider buying can be a bullish signal for a stock. This is especially the case if the stock has recently had a large drop in price.

If any modern industry has fierce competition, it’s content streaming. Having to contend with Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Hulu, Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime platform, Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s TV+, as well as Disney’s (NYSE:DIS) Disney+ made it difficult for Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) stock to make any headway in September.

Sometimes it’s perfectly okay not to be No. 1. By investing in Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) stock, you’re taking a stake in a company with a tiny fraction of the capital, market share and brand-name recognition of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) in the global e-commerce space. That’s not a bad thing, because SHOP stock is much less expensive with

The third quarter was definitely a bumpy ride for the stock market. One could call it a roller coaster — primarily because roller coasters usually drop you off at the same spot where you got on. The S&P 500 saw gains of just under 0.5%, the Dow Jones gained 0.75% and the Nasdaq lost a

For investors, a little can go a long way. That’s the theory behind investing in small-cap stocks. These stocks have the ability to beat large-cap stocks over time … if you know which of these stocks to buy. One of the reasons for this is because of their relatively low price.
